Tractor Pulling And Mud Hop At Melson

Another wonderful crowd at Melson Tractor Pull/Mud Hop Saturday night (August 14)along with some great competition in both groups of racing.


Tractor Pulling If you have never seen tractor pulling before this probably looks like one boring and unexciting sport, but I guarantee that most times this can get quite hair raising and the winner of the event will sometimes surprise you! If you own a tractor and think you can pull a large amount of weight with it, or if you just want to give it a try, bring it to the next event! New entries are always welcomed.......... (I find it amusing when the old clunker looking tractors sometimes suddenly break loose and race down the track making the nicely groomed John Deere tractors look like wimps!)

Mud Hop Another popular event on Saturday nights is the Mud Hop! These trucks will make your heart stop as they move across the top of the hill and down the other side into and through the mud!!!
Speed plays a big part in this competition............... .....because this is what you find at the bottom of the other side of the hill. MUD! Keep in mind that after a rainy week this hole is sometimes covered with water and the driver must get through this with speed and not get stuck!


Think you have a truck that can do this?


By all means please make plans to try it out at the next event. For rules and more info go to http://www.melsontractorpull.webs.com/

Registration begins at 5:00 PM Races start at 7:00 PM

Bring your own chair and sit back and let these fearless guys entertain you.

We'll see you there..............
